I think when/if Nix/Burrett get close to committing Few will call Suggs and ask him point blank where he is and then move forward if he is undecided. Just a small note here Few new about 2 weeks prior to Strawther committing via Twitter that Strawther was committed to GU. Things like that are normal and I would expect that some sort of call would be made to Suggs before signing one of the other two.

Honest question regarding the recruiting process - how does that work with Nix/Burnett? Would they already be under the impression that they aren't Few's first choice? I can't imagine Few receiving a call from Nix saying he wants to commit and Few being like "hold on let me just make sure that Suggs doesn't want it first and I'll get back to you".

No it doesn't work that way, our coaches are in contact with these players every single day. They have a feel already on where things will go. If Nix says he is ready to commit then there have been conversations leading up to that day that give the staff the feel it's coming and that is when they talk to Suggs. Many of these players say whatever they want on social media to mislead people in their recruiting process, but when they are talking to coaches, the staff knows where they stand with these guys better than anyone.

bring them all in...1a 1b heck 1c...the scholarships will work themselves out...you really need at least 4 guys at minimum anyways avg. 30min per and 5 is ideal for a zag backcourt.

All are super talented and scholarships would work themselves out, but we already have Harris/Strawther and if we had 3 more guards that cuts playing time for high rated recruits. Remember our 2019 class is loaded at the 3-5 position, so we are talking two guard positions right here.

I knew nothing about him, so just watched my first reel of him; very, very impressed. He's very skilled, coordinated, great post moves, shot blocker, passer and shooter. No wonder he's a 5*. He's from the southern Atlanta suburbs abd right now Puke and Georgia are leading, but if you're a high major "big" coming outta high school, how could you not pick Gonzaga? Olynyk, Sabonis, Collins, JWIII and now Rui and Clarke are about to be lottery picks.

Clark wasn’t on any mock drafts prior to this year. Now he’s a projected lottery pick. Rui may very well join him there.

Huh? I was listing all of the "bigs" that we're putting into the NBA. I read the Duke board last night and they think he's a lock for them, they're already adding him to their roster.

K already keeping busy
Went to see Jaylen Johnson in home yesterday.
Going to see Caleb Love today.
I think we get Johnson, Hampton (if he doesnt reclassify), Kessler, and maybe Boston next year. Other targets are Love and Roach. We need to target more bigs because we literally have 0 once Carey leaves.

Johnson, Boston and Kessler are the three I feel best about. I advocated for pursuing another lower ranked big this year because I'd like to have one with some experience next year. If Hurt is one and done, we're going to be scrambling there.

That would stink if we lost Suggs and Kessler to Puke, but not sure how much of a priority bigs are with Timme, Ballo, Petrusev and Pavel. Even if Filip leaves after this season, we still have an embarrassment of riches at the 5.

I was supporting your conclusion (e.g. taking a non-mock draft player to the lottery over the course of 1 year supports GU as an ideal place to get both exposure AND develop).
